The Swedish central defender arrived at Manchester United with the sign of great promise in European football. But the Red Devils have been traveling in the desert for many years, during which time the defender went from being a star to a gold substitute.

A free agent in 2024, Lindelöf is the third center back in Erik ten Hag's rotation, behind Lisandro Martínez and Raphaël Varane. A situation that, as he has assured, will influence his future since he wants to play, that's why he plays football, but I don't think about that since this summer he analyzes the situation and will see what is best. As Fabrizio Romano points out, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan asked about him in January. Is a change of scenery coming up for Lindelöf?

Victor Lindelöf, defender of Manchester United, believes that the increased competition for positions within the starting team currently helps to improve the level of the Red Devils. The Swede was absent from the negative start to the season due to injury, but later managed to make up ground to the point of having started to share central defense in the last two games with Lisandro Martínez.

The Argentine, formerly of Ajax, was hired to strengthen a back line and was the only defensive player to play in all the Premier League games under the command of Erik ten Hag, alternating with other players of the stature of Harry Maguire and Raphaël Varane. United showed an evolution after winning seven of their last nine games in all competitions, and the Swede maintains that this healthy internal battle contributed to the leap in quality.

Victor Lindelöf resigns himself

Despite Inter Milan's insistence on taking over the Swede, to replace Milan Skriniar, the defender will continue at Old Trafford. Inter Milan will have to look the other way if they want to find a central defender to replace Milan Skriniar. Victor Lindelöf will not be the one to arrive at Giuseppe Meazza.
